Sarah Palin…Dumber Than Shit.

Sarah Palin...Dumber Than Shit.

Watch this excerpt from a interview that Sarah Palin did with Katie Couric today and tell me that she’s even qualified to teach kindergardeners how to take a nap. I fucking dare you.
The entire interview is probably available at CBS.com, but I found it here.
Again, it’s not I’m trying to be partisan and throw mud [...]



John McCain Looks Like A Turtle…

John McCain Looks Like A Turtle...

Honestly, he does. You see it. I know you do. Of course, if I remember my Aesop’s Fables at all, this means that Obama must be the rabbit. I certainly hope that it doesn’t follow that “slow and steady wins the race.” Actually, following the presidential campaign as I have these past few years, it [...]



Preemptive Corporate Sponsorship

Preemptive Corporate Sponsorship

Nike has apparently obtained a new form of technology that allows them to sponsor athletes that existed in the bygone days before the footwear mega-giant came into being. It’s a growth industry. Think about it, there were thousands of athletes in the modern era that never had the luxury of having their own designer shoe. [...]



MATT DAMON!!! (talks about Sara Palin)

MATT DAMON!!! (talks about Sara Palin)

I’ve always kind of liked Matt Damon. I know that you have, too. He’s just plain likable. With that gigantic forehead and massive cranium, that every guy look about him and the fact that he’s reeeealy short. He’s not intimidating for us guys, because even though we like Matt Damon, we secretly know that we’re [...]



Left-wing Media Bias

Left-wing Media Bias

John McCain has a history of referring to the reporters that cover him on the campaign trail as his “base.” But that doesn’t follow with the general sentiment of the rest of the Republican party, which loves to make up a fictional “left-wing media bias” to fire up it’s base. Never mind that in coverage [...]



Sarah Palin’s Big Night

Sarah Palin's Big Night

I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a “community organizer,” except that you have actual responsibilities. I might add that in small towns, we don’t quite know what to make of a candidate who lavishes praise on working people when they are listening, and then talks about how bitterly they cling to their [...]



Polite Riots

Polite Riots

Apparently, Minnesotans are rioting outside of the Republican National Convention. A concert on the capital lawn yesterday turned into a protest march led by Rage Against the Machine’s Zach De La Rocha and Tom Morello. Later on, the crowd was teargassed by riot police. Earlier this week, possible protestors’ houses were searched by local police, [...]



Sarah Palin - Trophy Pick

Sarah Palin - Trophy Pick

So, John McCain has picked his VP. I can’t say that it’s the best pick or even a reasonable pick. In fact, it’s a straight up shot at the woman vote and little else. Sure, Sara Palin is a strong woman, but she’s very inexperienced in politics, serving as the mayor of a 8000 person [...]



Grappling With the Democratic Convention

Grappling With the Democratic Convention

Invesco Field is packed with thousands of democrats. Nearly 75,000 people (maybe more) are anxiously awaiting Barack Obama’s speech, or his “Big Speech,” as CNN seems intent on calling it. That’s right, I’m watching this on CNN, because, for some stunningly stupid reason, PBS has decided to run their Nightly Business Report instead of covering [...]



Dennis Kucinich (D-Lollypop Guild…err, Ohio) Wants You To Wake Up!

Dennis Kucinich (D-Lollypop Guild...err, Ohio) Wants You To Wake Up!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; Dennis Kucinich is fun as hell.
Wake up America! Adorable.
Look, I like Dennis Kucinich. I think that, out of all of the politicians out there on a national level today, he most represents the staunch idealism and pragmatic optimism and bedrock sense of right and wrong that [...]
